In Lyon, a city synonymous with the art of good food, a new kind of culinary destination has opened its doors and this time, the guests have four legs.
DOGSTRONOMY is the city’s first kitchen dedicated entirely to dogs, bringing together gastronomy, animal wellbeing and lifestyle in a concept that takes the phrase “you are what you eat” to a whole new level.
The name says it all. A playful combination of dog and gastronomy, Dogstronomy reimagines the ancient art of eating well through a canine lens. Here, a dog who takes pleasure in discovering carefully selected food, chosen for both its quality and individual needs, becomes a true dogstronome.
But this is not simply a shop for dog food. It is a place designed around the pleasure of eating, the beauty of food and, above all, the relationship between dogs and their humans.
At the heart of DOGSTRONOMY is fresh, handmade food prepared with the individual dog in mind. Owners can find tailor-made home-cooked meals for everyday nutrition or to add freshness to a mixed diet, alongside healthy pastries, creative treats and beautifully made celebration cakes. Birthdays, gotcha days or simply an excuse to celebrate the love between dog and owner — there is always a reason for cake.
The experience goes further. Superfood toppings, probiotics, mineral supplements, specially adapted bowls and everything needed to make fresh feeding easier are part of the offering. The idea is not to dictate one perfect diet, but to help owners understand what works for their individual dog and make better choices without compromising on pleasure.
And that is perhaps what makes the concept particularly charming: DOGSTRONOMY treats dogs not simply as pets, but as part of the family with their own tastes, rituals and occasions worth celebrating.
It also feels fitting that the concept should have found its home in Lyon. In a city where food is deeply woven into everyday life, the culture of bien manger naturally extends to our four-legged companions.
“Our dogs deserve the best and that can also be beautiful, creative and inspiring.” That simple conviction is at the heart of DOGSTRONOMY."
Because why should humans have all the fun when it comes to good food?
In Lyon, the dog café has entered its gastronomic era.
